I don't want to be discoured from sharing my hard work because of a few individuals with thieving tendencies, don't ruin this for me. Thanks.
Edit III Dear mother of God, over 1000 faves, thankyou deviantArt!! I think there'll be a part 2 coming soon to this tutorial that was never meant to be a part 1...
Edit II Wow over 600 faves! Thankyou so much I rarely get over 10 faves on my work, I guess deviantArt loves Tutorials.
Edit Loads of people have been really lovely about this tutorial, I'd love to thank everyone individually but that wouldn't be possible so... Thanks for all the support.
If you use the tutorial send me a link and I'll give you any more advice I think you might need.
I'd just like to say this is a beginner's tutorial and this is the method for colouring I used, which served me in good stead whilst I learnt about digital painting, there are other, much better tutorials on deviantArt which can show you more advanced methods of painting.
I made this for myself, so that I had some skin swatches to hand. Then I got ahead of myself and well... here it is.
I'm happy to answer questions.

If you want to use a smudge tool method try thisΒ igneous-dragon.deviantart.com/β¦
But if you're interested in a more advance technique, the one I use myself, then look here shesta713.deviantart.com/art/S⦠(just ignore step 4)

Sadly Β i cant use the smudge tool , my computer is too slow and it takes too much time , do you have any other tips for me if im not able to use it ? really helpful tutorial though

Lay down the base colour first, then paint on the stripes at 100% opacity, then paint inbetween the two with 50% opacity of the lighter colour. I'd love to see the results when you're finished.

Sounds good , I will try it out and see if it works for me , I got really sick of my digital art so i will probably go back to my old trusted pencils , but thanks so much for help

If you want to get better it's just practice, practice, practice. My traditional pencil art has only gotten better along side my digital, so it doesn't really matter too much which you use.

I feel way more comfortable with pencil and tissues for blending in my hand, those tools in photoshop just annoy me sometimes , i wish i could just put my finger on the screen and blend it that way, Its easy for you to say to practise , your art is amazing !Β

Quisiera saber como hacerlo pero sin usar Smudge tool.
Bad English version.
I need to know how to do that without Smudge tool.

This is a beginners guide to skin, so using the smudge tool is for the basics. If you want to do it more advanced use a wacom tablet and brush over, in the same directions as shown in the tutorial, using pressure sensitivity in photoshop. Hope this helped.
Mala versiΓ³n espaΓ±ola.
Esta es una guΓa para principiantes a la piel, por lo que el uso de la herramienta de retoque es para lo bΓ‘sico. Si quieres hacerlo mΓ‘s avanzados utilizan una tableta Wacom y pincel sobre, en la misma direcciΓ³n, como se muestra en el tutorial, con sensibilidad a la presiΓ³n en photoshop. Espero que esto ayudΓ³.

This looks great - especially the bit about the pores and moles to make it more realistic! Can't wait to try this out.

May I ask what program you use?? If I did not look correctly I think you may have left that out. But me with skimming things may have read over it but what did you use>

I use Photoshop, but it should work with any digital paint program. (I think)

Great tutorial. Thanks for sharing. I've been drawing characters like the hulk and captain planet just to avoid drawing human skintones.

Thanks and you're welcome. That seems a good enough way to avoid it.

This is amazingly helpful. I have found people to be task that I have not wanted to handle on Photoshop at all. Now this makes me want to try to do people. I think I will be even more comfortable when I get a new tablet.

Oh I am pleased. People can be hard, if this is a step to mastery for you, I'm very glad. I hope your tablet works well for you.

I am so green at Photoshop, but I am falling in love with it. I am traditional first and trying to make the transition I fins is tricky sometimes.
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm still learning both traditional and digital, though digital I'm self taught.
π: 0 β©: 1
I have training for traditional and I have done some self discovery. Digital I am self taught and I looking up tutorials and experimenting out the wazoo.
